Autorenportrait
James Fenimore Cooper (17891851) was an iconic American writer whose work has left an indelible mark on the literary landscape of the early United States. Born in Burlington, New Jersey, Cooper would go on to live a life as compelling and adventurous as the stories he created. Educated at Yale, though not completing his degree, Cooper found his calling in literature after a stint in the U.S. Navy and the management of his family's estate. His time in the Navy influenced his seafaring novels included in the notable collection 'TALES OF THE SEA Premium Collection: 12 Maritime Adventure Novels in One Volume (Illustrated).' Cooper's profound connection with the American frontier and his insightful portrayals of Native American life are manifest in his Leatherstocking Tales series, including the renowned 'The Last of the Mohicans.' His literary style combined romanticism with realism, crafting narratives that explored the complex interplay between nature, culture, and individualism. Cooper's pioneering efforts in writing nautical fiction earned him the accolade of America's first major novelist, and his works have been treasured by generations for their vivid depiction of American life and scenery during a formative period in the nation's history.
Informationen zu E-Books
„E-Book“ steht für digitales Buch. Um diese Art von Büchern lesen zu können wird entweder eine spezielle Software für Computer, Tablets und Smartphones oder ein E-Book Reader benötigt. Da viele verschiedene Formate (Dateien) für E-Books existieren, gilt es dabei, einiges zu beachten.
Von uns werden digitale Bücher in drei Formaten ausgeliefert. Die Formate sind EPUB mit DRM (Digital Rights Management), EPUB ohne DRM und PDF. Bei den Formaten PDF und EPUB ohne DRM müssen Sie lediglich prüfen, ob Ihr E-Book Reader kompatibel ist. Wenn ein Format mit DRM genutzt wird, besteht zusätzlich die Notwendigkeit, dass Sie einen kostenlosen Adobe® Digital Editions Account besitzen. Wenn Sie ein E-Book, das Adobe® Digital Editions benötigt herunterladen, erhalten Sie eine ASCM-Datei, die zu Digital Editions hinzugefügt und mit Ihrem Account verknüpft werden muss. Einige E-Book Reader (zum Beispiel PocketBook Touch) unterstützen auch das direkte Eingeben der Login-Daten des Adobe Accounts – somit können diese ASCM-Dateien direkt auf das betreffende Gerät kopiert werden.
Da E-Books nur für eine begrenzte Zeit – in der Regel 6 Monate – herunterladbar sind, sollten Sie stets eine Sicherheitskopie auf einem Dauerspeicher (Festplatte, USB-Stick oder CD) vorsehen. Auch ist die Menge der Downloads auf maximal 5 begrenzt.
